Post Scripts: The “big picture” of border problems

Since living in San Marcos, Texas, the past four years, we have become accustomed

to co-existing with residents of Mexican descent, both business-wise and to a lesser degree socially. The manager of our apartment complex here is of Mexican descent and it would be hard to find anyone white, black, brown or yellow who could be more accommodating, efficient or likable than he.

So it worries me a bit that the border between America and Mexico is the site of so much trouble. Hundreds of Mexican citizens cross our border into America night after night. We have guards, of course, but there is no way to patrol our entire border with Mexico. There are just too many miles between border patrol stations. Just the other night a patrol agent fired across the border at a group of illegal immigrants who had tried to disable him by throwing rocks across the Rio Grand.

Some U.S. officials believe Mexico is actually waging war in a campaign to occupy and gain power over America, skillfully waging war on the U.S. through legal and illegal immigration and assertion of Mexico’s national claims over U.S. territory. Plus, also through the subversion of our laws and sovereignty, thus bringing the southwest part of the U.S. under control of an expanding Mexico.

I read we are not getting the "big picture" that the Mexican government is promoting

and carrying out an attack on the United States. Another reason we fail to understand what’s happening, is that we tend to focus on immigrants as individuals. Thus we think of them as "good dads" or "hard-working folks" seeking better lives. This is not about dads or families. It is about a great national migration coming into our land to reproduce on it their own nation and eventually push us aside.

If this is true, it means we are more or less at war with Mexico. A popular columnist for Mexico City’s newspaper wrote this: "You cannot give me a better example of a large migratory wave by an ant-like multitude, stubborn, unarmed and carried on in the face

of the most powerful nation on earth. This invasion seems to be slowly returning the southwestern United States to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot, nor requiring the least diplomatic action, by means of a steady, spontaneous and uninterrupted occupation."

So… if this opinion is factual, we must remember Mexicans aren’t coming to America just for the economic benefits, but as a nation expressing their national identity and collective will. I hope the "Second Mexican War" is a myth but 58 percent of Mexican people believe the U.S. southwest belongs to Mexico and 57 percent believe Mexicans have the right to enter the U.S. without permission.

So you see their thinking is by slowly re-settling Mexicans in our southwest, they can return and thus right a historic wrong. I obtained this information from the Internet, Front Page Magazine, written by Lawrence Auster. There is no reason to assume this is hog-wash.
